    And this kind of bullshit is why I stopped using anything Google, or at least heavily ad blocked like YouTube.

      Because they want money for their service?

      Go ahead, use MapQuest, I’m sure it’ll be just as good.

          Go ahead, pay for a shitty Garmin or Atlas every year. Just another code for you to suck on as well.

            You’re not thinking of the other options on a phone you don’t have to pay for

            You also come across as a very simple minded ass

              Use them then and stop complaining about Google IMO. None of them are nearly as good and that’s why I couldn’t care less about an ad.
